Convento do Espinheiro, Historic Hotel & Spa
About
Convento do Espinheiro is a five‑star historic hotel located in the UNESCO‑listed city of Évora, Portugal. The property sits on a former 15th‑century convent that has been ex‑patriated and meticulously restored, preserving its original Gothic church, frescoes, and arcades while infusing modern comfort and luxurious amenities. Every corner of the hotel echoes history – from the stone cloisters and vaulted ceilings to the opulent, King‑size rooms that blend classic heritage décor with contemporary technology. Guests can indulge in the on‑site wellness centre, a tranquil spa offering treatments rooted in local botanical traditions such as olive oil, lavender, and rosemary. The spa’s elegant pool and private relaxation rooms are open from 10:15 am to 7:00 pm daily, each day providing a serene retreat for rejuvenation. Dining is a curated culinary experience: the historic kitchens host three restaurants – Divinus, Olive, and Claustro Lounge – each delivering regional Italian and Portuguese cuisine using local produce and artisanal olive oil. The hotel is an exceptional value for travelers seeking a blend of cultural immersion, luxury, and convenience. The surrounding gardens, terrace, and focal square allow guests to explore Évora’s heritage sites, including the Temple of Diana, the Cathedral, and the Roman Temple, all within a short walk. Special offers such as ‘Stay Longer’ and exclusive vouchers give guests additional flexibility and savings, while the direct booking platform guarantees a 5 % discount.
